Sunday Snow

 Happy Day 94

                        It's Snowing!  

I love to watch "my woods" fill up with snow. I hope it blankets all the brown, darkness and decay with pure white.

Thanksgiving Visitors

Happy Day 93


La Familia Sanchez visited us and brought with them many memories of happy days serving in the Cannon Spanish Branch. 

We look forward to attending Rosita's baptism next month. The gospel of Jesus Christ has been such a blessing in their  lives. 

I am grateful for these forever friends. 

 Art thou a brother or brethren? I salute you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, in token or remembrance of the everlasting covenant, in which covenant I receive you to fellowship in a determination that is fixed, immovable, and unchangeable, to be your friend and brother through the grace of God in the bonds of love, to walk in all the commandments of God blameless, in thanksgiving, forever and ever. Amen.

"She is Ours"


Happy Day. 91

I've been busy with my Menlove's. It has been a whirlwind of happiness since I arrived November 10. I've loved welcoming our angel Minnie Marguerite and spending many happy days with this wonderful family. 


I asked William if I could take Minnie home with me. At first he said "yes" and then thought for a moment. "No you can't BB. She is ours!"  She is mine too  - part of my story - forever. 

  I will miss the beautiful weather -Sunshine, blue skies and ocean. I will miss sweet little hands and voices, blue-blue blank, chocolate sippies, trains and trucks and Disney movies. I will miss snuggles and kisses. I will really miss this glimpse of Heaven.
